Olga E. Nowlin Scholarship Fund

The Olga E. Nowlin Scholarship Fund is a renewable scholarship program offered through the Arizona Community Foundation to support students pursuing vocational, trade, or community college education. The scholarship is available to students ages 16-30 years from Maricopa or Pinal County, Arizona. This merit-based opportunity provides financial support for students seeking practical and vocational training through two-year and trade school programs. The scholarship is renewable for three additional years, with a maximum of four awards total. Recipients are contacted each spring via email with instructions on how to request continued funding for subsequent years. This program aims to increase educational access for young adults in central Arizona counties pursuing career-focused education at the community college or vocational school level.
